Hi, you must upgrade to one of the nightly builds of the 1.4.1 branch for the moment. The 1.4.2 was a fix release on the 1.4.1 branch.
--> all the new code is in the trunc, but the number has not yet been changed :-( and this is beyond my control
you can find a working copy here
http://ccnetlive.thoughtworks.com/CCN...

or higher build numbers, but for the moment in the 1.4.1 folder

sorry for the confusion about the numbering

I updated my patch that shows the fixer of a project, so it is now using the 1.2 source. (issue 30)
If you use the latest builds of ccnet (1.4.1.3845 and higher), and apply this patch, you will also see the breakers of a project.

I'm working on a view that roughly is the following :
the screen is divided in 2
the left side (25%) shows the projects that are good
the right side (75%) shows the broken projects.
the reason is : we have a lot of projects, and the main thing to now is which ones are broken. So by doing this divide, the broken ones have more windows space, and should show up bigger.

any intrest in this ?

I am not good (read very bad) in wpf, so it may take some time to get this to work correctly

A comment on the discussion "What other visualizations would you like to see?" in Big Visible Cruise:

The current build of CCNet 1.4.1 or 1.4.2, show the fixer of a build, you do not see this at the site of CCNet, because nobody clicks the button "I'm fixing the build". And this message is also cleared after every build. If you would like to see it, somebody must click the 'volunteer to fix build' button, in CCTray. Also in the next release, this message will indicate the people who broke the build. So if you could add this patch, the functionality is there. – williams, on December 15, 2008 07:48

that would be cool, standard the filter may be empty, but the ability to filter should be there

williams replied on June 17, 2008 14:28 to the discussion "How are you using BVC?" in Big Visible Cruise:

Another cool item would be the ability to choose which projects to visualize.

williams replied on June 16, 2008 09:04 to the discussion "What other visualizations would you like to see?" in Big Visible Cruise:

Another visualisation method than a stacked frame, when the buildserver has 20+ projects, the text is way to small to read. There should be visualisation which shows the projects one by one. So first show project 1, wait 5 seonds, show project 2, ... It may be in carousel mode, but this is not necessary ;-)
Also an option to show only broken projects could be nice in this visualisation.

the patch is on the issue list of bvc at googlecode. issue 20

williams replied on June 06, 2008 13:22 to the discussion "What other visualizations would you like to see?" in Big Visible Cruise:

I made a change to CCNet to expose the messages, so the statusreport also has this. These messages are used for communication between teammembers. For the moment the only item foreseen is XXX is fixing the build.
I've got BVC updated to display this data. I'f you're intrested, let me know and I will suply the patches. The other CC's are not affected by this update.

williams replied on June 03, 2008 13:48 to the discussion "What other visualizations would you like to see?" in Big Visible Cruise:

I've added 2 smal patches to the issue tracker in google codes,
if you want patches to be supplied in a different way, let me know.

williams replied on June 03, 2008 10:26 to the discussion "What other visualizations would you like to see?" in Big Visible Cruise:

Exposing the messages like 'XXX is fixing the build' is not a problem,
I have a patch for this ready for CCNet (minor upgrade), but since the 1.4 release is imminent, I doubt if it will be included. But maybe I can get it through, there will be a 1.4RC1, so there is a good chance that in the 1.4 final it will be included. Once this patch is in CCNet, I will make a patch for bvc to use this extra stuff

Is it handy that the buildstage is also exposed?
this can be a very long string (xmldata), and I doubt if BVC is the right tool to visualize this information.

I can also set a tag in the xmlstatusreport to identify which CCtype is queried, like ccnet, cc.rb, ..., but maybe it is better to set this in BVC. One knows to which kind of server one is looking. What do you think?

williams replied on May 30, 2008 13:10 to the discussion "What other visualizations would you like to see?" in Big Visible Cruise:

For the moment there is no way to get this data from the dashboard as xml, I'll look into the exposing of this data first, afterwards it should be easy to visualize it.

I got the code now (probably there was a network problem or so). I am looking at the code now, keeping you posted – williams, on May 28, 2008 18:18

I use tortoise svn, and got the following error :
Checkout from http://bigvisiblecruise.googlecode.co..., revision HEAD, Fully recursive, Externals included
Server sent unexpected return value (400 Bad Request) in response to REPORT
request for '/svn/!svn/vcc/default'
Finished!

Can you give me some help on this?

Concerning the other CruiseControl versions, I'll take a look also,
we can always wrap it in a try catch block if it neads be – williams, on May 28, 2008 13:47

williams replied on May 28, 2008 12:39 to the discussion "What other visualizations would you like to see?" in Big Visible Cruise:

When the build is broken, include all the people who have made modifications to the build --> so you know who to contact.
I would like to take a look at the code, but I'm not able to get it, are you sure the url works? I get a Does not Exist error (there is a space just before bigvisiblectruise-read-only)
